Army Times reports: "The hunt for a new camo design follows a growing groundswell of rank-and-file criticism that the current pattern on the Army Combat Uniform is ineffective in the rugged Afghan terrain — and elsewhere."
The Army never learns from its mistakes as far as designing and then fielding uniforms. It's jerk one way and then another, depending on what the present day needs are. Seems to me that no single combat uniform will ever do the job in the field. Too dependent on terrain, etc. Why can't the Army have more than one? And don't tell me that it can't be afforded. How long has it been since the desert pattern BDU has been discontinued?
And don't get me started on the new Blue Class "A" uniform.
